I'm a big girl now......
Last night my parents made me sleep in my crib. It was my first night away from the two of them. I was very scared....I cried and cried and cried...daddy came to see me to check up to see how I was. I cried, I cried and cried some more. And then I stopped....I was tired and my parents were not backing down......I tried;)
These pictures were taken at 4:00am
Scary, don't you think?
This morning after I fed at 7:30...Mom droppedme back in here and I didn't even cry .
I kinda like being alone in my crib I can spread out and have the whole bed to myself...don't tell mom and dad...I don't want to hurt their feelings.....
Good morning sleepy head!
I was so happy to see my parents this morning
I love daddy!

Way to go Olivia...Hope tonight is easier...I forgot to ask you what 'trick' did your doctor share with you? I can use all the help I can get...
Let us know how it goes tomorrow...
You can say that again.......My Doc is very easy .....she told me that what ever WE(2 people thing) wanted to do would work.....it's just to be ready emotionally.
She talked about Ferber, No Cry Sleep, she even encouraged the co-sleeping as long as WE wanted(but specified that the longer WE wait...the hard it would be). A Doctor for co-sleeping,(isn't that different),anyway,
Last night Olivia cried for 2.5hours it was sooooooooooooo heart breaking...tonight I repeated my routine....I rocked her(and hummed to her"no singing from my part...that would probably keep her up") I fed her(the trick is not to let her fall asleep), I then put her in her crib(WHILE SHE WAS CALM AND AWAKE) and spoke the following words, "I love you Olivia and I will see you tomorrow morning" after that....my part of the work was partially done. Dave,Daddy does this part, took care of getting up to comfort her(without picking her up) Tonight, Dave actually got up twice and in 30mins she was gone. I went to check on her and she is hugging her toutou as if it were me...I gave Olivia a new toutou which she hugged during her hysterie last night. Dave told me she was squeezing it so hard :( ...It's a big fluffy soft blue duck...my Doctor suggested I have a special toutou for dodo...anyway...I hope this helps.xxsee you guys on Tuesday
hey, super! good job guys...it is heartbreaking but good for everyone in the end, if you feel ready of course...trust me, it will get better and better until she won't even cry at all! i think the key is the toutou like you said, for marissa it was her toutou and pacifier (but olivia doesn't take the paci right)! good luck!
